Burns Fruit Drier and
Evaporator,
We are now prepared to manufac
ture and turn ah three different sizes

fect control and distribution of tame
renders it impossible to scorch the
fruit. Kvcry part of the drying
chamber is ot eiiual temperature m
indicated by a thermometer, and ita
system of ventilation carrying off
tho moisture and steam thrown off,
are a few of the points of superior
ity that recommend it to every in
telligent mind.
